<h3>4L filament drybox</h3><h3>Background</h3><p>The idea was to create a drybox with as few modifications to the food container as needed where the spool can be changed with ease.</p><h3>Idea and Inspiration</h3><p>This is a collection of things I've found to work well together and adopted them for a nice all-in-one set.</p><p>The base was inspired by mars gizmos design:<br/><a href="https://www.myminifactory.com/de/object/3d-print-marsgizmo-filament-bunker-131183">https://www.myminifactory.com/de/object/3d-print-marsgizmo-filament-bunker-131183</a></p><p>The spacer is a remix of this wedge:<br/><a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4647864">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4647864</a></p><p>The outlet screws used:<br/><a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4667797">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4667797</a></p><h3>Parts to print</h3><p>What you need:</p><ul><li>Print the Filament Base first (without supports) - <strong>scale the model down to 10%</strong></li><li>Print 2 Roller</li></ul><p>Print one Silica Lid and check if it snaps to the base<br/>Depending on the filament you may need to resize it in small (0,5 - 1,5%) steps Optional but recommended:</p><p>Print the screws linked above<br/>Depending on the filament I would recommend to scale the nut up a bit so the thread goes easy.</p><p>Print one Spacer for the temp-sensor/hydrometer<br/>For bigger spools I'd recommend the original wedge above as it will push the sides better to fit bigger spools. ### Additional parts needed</p><p>1 Drybox</p><ul><li>1 Hydrometer (optional)</li><li>4 608 ZZ Bearings</li><li>1 Compression Fitting (optional) Part list on Amazøn w. affiliate links:</li></ul><p>Dryboxes:<br/>amazon.de/gp/product/B08JTH2NZJ/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=swooshy-21&amp;camp=1638&amp;creative=6742&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B08JTH2NZJ&amp;linkId=29819cd04faf9df305e633c6a2204828</p><p>Hydrometer:<br/>www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07JDSHD4Z/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=swooshy-21&amp;camp=1638&amp;creative=6742&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B07JDSHD4Z&amp;linkId=e5f668db36c015bbabac92739e4af127</p><p>Bearings:<br/>amazon.de/gp/product/B08K936Y1Z/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=swooshy-21&amp;camp=1638&amp;creative=6742&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B08K936Y1Z&amp;linkId=5b89cee1cd0a113c97c02624f293fdc1</p><p>Compression-Fittings:<br/>amazon.de/gp/product/B07P3BC4GQ/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=swooshy-21&amp;camp=1638&amp;creative=6742&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B07P3BC4GQ&amp;linkId=2daef8abc206fda31e794708d1e09812</p><h3>Assembly</h3><ul><li>Insert 2 Bearings into each roller</li><li>Mount both roller to the base</li><li>Fill the silica box in the base (approx 40g until full - way more than enough for 4L)</li><li>Add the lid and set the whole base into the container</li><li>Insert the hydrometer into the spacer-wedge</li></ul><p>Install in front of the box where the grip is Optional:</p><p>Drill 10mm hole where you want to guide your filament outside</p><ul><li>Install the printed screw</li><li>Screw in the compression fitting</li><li>You might also hotglue a small (6x3) magnet from the inside of the lid to attach a filament swatch from the outside :)</li></ul><h3>Print Settings</h3><p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p><p>No</p><p> </p><p><strong>Supports: </strong></p><p>No</p><p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p><p> </p><p>0.2</p><p><strong>Filament:</strong> 3DJake PETG black</p><p> </p><p>Category: 3D Printer Accessories</p>
